Happiest in water & the sunshine ☀️🧜🏽‍♀️ I will be off the grid for the next two weeks whilst on a sea kayaking trip off the coast of #papuanewguinea , exploring the remote Louisiade Archipelago & Calvados Islands. My heart is incredibly overwhelmed upon leaving my home & those I love here in #tropicalnorthqueensland , however I am sure excitement will take over as I land on the shores of the last frontier.

Watching Kyle paddle away into the sunrise. What a special experience watching his first time in a kayak, showing him how to manoeuvre his paddle and hold his balance. It was a perfect start to our final week 🧜🏻‍♂️🧜🏽‍♀️

My final week soaking in these rainforest-fringed crystal waters 💧 Life in the Wet Tropics is mesmerising, refreshing and real. We keep close to nature’s heart here, part of my soul is forever engrained within the rainforest and her wilderness creeks 🧚🏽‍♂️👣🐍🌿

Walking on the edge of Tully Falls, below Koombooloomba. It is where our mighty Tully River carves it’s way to the Coral Sea - where I began my journey with the roar of whitewater and growth as paddler - where the rainforest is ancient 🦎🌿🧚🏽‍♂️🛶🐍🦋

To sleep on the beach in the warm tropical air, yet dive into a rainforest creek at first light is a magical thing. How grateful I am to have created a home in the wet tropics, where rainforest meets the reef 🧚🏽‍♂️🌿🦎✨🌕

This LEGEND! His first time paddling, and he flourished in the roar! After some time working on his technique & manouvering across flow, we stormed our way down the pristine & wild Cochable Creek. What an epic day! 💦
